MOSCOW – Russian President Vladimir Putin alleged that some of Russia’s foreign foes dream about biting off pieces of the country’s vast territory.
During a conference call on Thursday, Putin noted that foreign efforts to contain Russia date from centuries ago.
“Once Russia grew stronger, they found pretexts to hamper its development,” Putin said, alleging that some critics of Russia argued that it’s unfair for it to keep its vast natural riches all to itself.
“Everyone wants to bite us or bite something off us, but those who would like to do so should know that we would knock their teeth out so that they couldn’t bite,” he said.(AP)
